Glastonbury 2020 Cancelled - I am sorry to be the bearer of this news.

[BambooShanks]

I feel for everyone who hasn't got a ticket but as others have said, I'd imagine there will be a lot more going into the pot compared to other years so the dream is still alive for you.

 

Guess I best get myself over to the 2021 headliners thread

[Avalon_Fields]

Yo! Roll over of tickets...I’m so happy!!!

[UEF]

I withdraw my statement about Eavis talking bollocks

[st dan]

They should scrap the April 2021 resale and just make all remaining tickets available (after 2020 refunds) in October this year - with full balance due for at the time of booking. Those with tickets for this year should also have to pay the full balance by ticket day this year too.

WE GET TO KEEP OUR TICKETS!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

Is that Fleetwood Mac I hear?

[The Red Telephone]

 Upsetting, but predictable and fair statement.

Glad to hear that coach/ accommodation bookings may be rolled over too

 I imagine there will be a fair chunk to be honest. Individual circumstances can change dramatically each year. I'd guess there will be 20% of tickets returned.

And y'all will have plenty of resale help on here 🙂

Nothing will stop me trying.

The lineup they announced last week was so unprecedentedly up my street, hopefully the negative reaction it got from the usual types will lead to enough people putting tickets back in the pot that we stand a chance. But who knows.

[MetaKate]

Glad I stayed up this late.  At least we know now and all the speculation can come to a close. 

[DeadAmos]

It's officially been cancelled peeps, sorry 😭

I hope they plan something that we can do to support the charities, businesses and casual workers who will be most affected by this. Thoughts are with everyone who will suffer financially as a result. 

[Tuna]

Selfishly happy we get to keep tickets, gutted for those who missed out this year as it will likely be a long wait between visits  

Now just keep that Taylor Sunday slot...

[Hugh Jass]

Mixed emotions...

Gutted that the festival is officially off, gutted for those without tickets who will almost certainly have to wait another year but secretly delighted that the tickets are carrying over.

Pretty much sums it up for me. 

[Dronx]

What a classy statement and gesture by the best festival in the world. 

[dogeggs]

So sad. I just feel so sorry for Emily & Michael.

 

[Miyn]

Gutted, but also relieved.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Happy for you guys. Maybe see you in 2022

[cheesey_toastie]

Who is in charge of this. It's genius!

To clarify

[Memory Man]

there was no way they werent going to roll over, as many people were saying on here

any other decision would have been ridiculous. they've done the right thing

[Fingerbobs]

Thank you Glasto - the roll over is a great goodwill gesture; a little hug in these glum times.

I reckon we'll see a huge number of festivals cancel before the end of the week now.  

Think Blue Dot will go? Saw their statement this week and they were my second choice, but I just can't see it. Gonna be a long summer.

[gazzared]

Still other festivals available to volunteer for with Oxfam....soooo if you pick two and when they're cancelled aswell wouldn't that give you priority Oxfam places for Glastonbury 2021 🤔🙂

My first Bluedot experience last year and despite the mud I loved it. If it isn't cancelled, I might go now, but I'm not optimistic.
